Introduction

Join Paul McClendon, an Opmantek Support Engineer, as he demonstrates how to create custom charts using opCharts.

In addition to building charts from NMIS' device data, opCharts includes a series of predefined charts specifically focused on providing detailed insight into system performance and metrics. Six of these charts are included on the TopN View (Select Views -> TopN from the opCharts menu bar) page. The NMIS Event log is also included on each device's detail screen.
